So very happy for you and big congrats!! It's amazing how it sometimes works, flying penguins in Mia's referral photo and we had a London bus on the front of Maisie's jumper in her referral picture. Huge signs that the child that you receive is the one all along who was destined to be your child. Enjoy Mama!

Congratulations Krista. I hadn't checked until today because I thought it was Wednesday that you would get your referral. What a Looooong wait. She is adorable. And yes, I noticed those penguins in the background. She was truly meant to be yours! :-) And.. she is just a young little baby. Your journey is only beginning and the short wait to travel time will seem like nothing compared to what you have waited so far.

What a miracle, after all this time, to have such a beautiful daughter and the penguins to seal it.

I cannot believe that in just a few weeks you will be sitting in the exact same civil office that I sat in two weeks ago when I received my daughter! I can definitely recommend a great restaurant in Nanchang!

I am so happy for you and little Mia. You are going to have so much baby time with her!!!

My thoughts and prayers are with you as you prepare for the most miraculous journey of your life!

She is beautiful! Congratulations!I received my referral on April 4 so you should be traveling around the same time I did. Very hot and humid in Jiangxi!It has been a long long long wait. No one knew how hard AND emotional this journey was going to be so ENJOY this time!Wishing you a safe and speedy travel to her.

Congratulations! She is simply adorable. I received my daughter in October (just days after Mia was born, actually) after waiting 4.25 years from LID. I know how horrible the wait is; I lived it. But, once you see how perfect Mia is for you, you will have no doubt that she came exactly when she was supposed to come.
